K2: Youth Mini Turbo Snowboard

If you really talk to a competitive kid about learning how to snowboard, you'll quickly realize that their biggest fears aren't associated with failure--the anxiety centers around being left behind or left out by their peers. That's why we like the equalizing characteristics on the K2 Youth's Mini Turbo Snowboard. While K2 designed some diminutive features into this beginner-friendly ride, there is nothing toy-like about the construction. Unlike some cheap snowboards that rely on a polyurethane core that feels dead at the first turn, the K2 Mini Turbo is an all-wood, W1 core wrapped in a biaxial fiberglass weave that's specifically configured for easy performance rides. This construction gives the Mini Turbo more flex, snap and durability than a lot of other entry-level snowboards, and that means that your young rider has more than a starting point--he or she has a platform for progression that will serve him or her well into intermediate and even some advanced terrain. Another distinctive characteristic that separates the Mini Turbo from a lot of snowboards is K2's Catch Free Technology. The Mini Turbo has the smallest bit of rocker shape in the tip and tail to improve the turn initiation and make the board fun to ride. Beneath this snowboard is K2's proven 2000 extruded base that's fast, durable and easy to tune or repair for many seasons to come.
